BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] Video images may be categorized into an analog video and a digital video. An analog
video signal may be transmitted uni-directionally without a bidirectional handshake
mechanism, and such relatively simple transmission may have a lower requirement on
the reliability of a system. However, the analog video signal being transmitted may
be susceptible to interference, thus leading to image interfering phenomena such as
"a water ripple", "a white spot" and the like on an image received by a receiver of
an image transmission device. The quality of an image which can be transmitted by
the analog signal may be low, leading to a blurred picture and a low quality in the
image received by the receiver of the image transmission device.
[0002] An image video of digital video transmission may be clear with a high image quality.
However, the high-definition digital video transmission may impose a high requirement
on system. The video may not be transmitted unless a handshake between devices is
successful, and the transmission may proceed only if a continuous handshake signal
is seen throughout the transmission to acknowledge a successful communication between
devices on both ends. An interference from a gimbal motor, a defect in a material
of wires and poor connectivity of a structure may all lead to interruption of video
transmission.
[0003] An aerial gimbal may be complex in structure and low in system reliability. Therefore,
a transmission of high-definition digital video in aerial gimbal system may not be
possible in prior art.

and monitoring, and may be applied in the fields of manned aircrafts, carriers, automobiles,
ships, robots, movie producers, manually set devices and the like. The gimbal system
100 may include a holder 1a, a digital video transmission component 10, a first angle
adjusting unit 20, a second angle adjusting unit 30, a third adjusting unit 40 and

angle adjusting unit 40 may be pivotally connected to the holder 1a. The second angle
adjusting unit 30 may be connected to the third angle adjusting unit 40, and may rotate
with respect to the third angle adjusting unit 40. The first angle adjusting unit
20 may be connected to the second angle adjusting unit 30, and may rotate with respect
to the second angle adjusting unit 30, thus forming a three-axis gimbal.
[0024] In some embodiments, the holder 1a may include a top surface 11a and a bottom surface
11b which is opposite to the top surface 11a.
[0025] In some embodiments, the digital video transmission component 10 may include a data
line 12, a video converter 13, a first differential signal transmission line 14, a

[0026] In some embodiments, the data line 12 may receives a video signal taken by the imaging

converter 13.
[0027] In some embodiments, the imaging device 200 may include an interface. In some instances,
the video signal may be an HDMI video signal, and correspondingly the data line 12
may be an HDMI data line over which the HDMI video signal may be transmitted.
[0028] In some embodiments, the video converter 13 may also include a data interface which

[0039] In some embodiments, the third motor 43 and the transmission circuit 16 may be arranged

A rotating shaft of the third motor 43 may be pivotally connected with the ring 161
of the transmission circuit 16 which is electrically connected with the gimbal control
unit 17. The gimbal control unit 17 may be electrically connected with the image transmission
unit 19 over the transmission line 18. When the third motor 43 adjusts the yaw angle
of the imaging device 100, the ring 161 of the transmission circuit 16 may rotate
synchronously with the rotating shaft of the third motor 43, and the plurality of
needle seats 162 may stay stationary with respect to the holder 1a. Therefore, the

line 153, the second filter 152, the communication bus 31, the roll electronic adjuster
22, the third cable 41 and the yaw electronic adjuster 42) may be pivotally connected

[0040] In some embodiments, the main controller 50 may be fixed on the carrier 20a. The
main controller 50 may be electrically connected to the video converter 13 through
a fourth cable 60. The main controller 50 may include a gyroscope and an accelerometer.
In some instances, the main controller 50 may be configured to sense an attitude of

of interfering signals may enter the gimbal system 100 through the first cable 21,

signals may be introduced by the first motor 23 and the pitch electronic adjuster
22, the second motor 33 and the roll electronic adjuster 32, the third motor 43 and
the yaw electronic adjuster 42. Therefore, the USB differential signal of the video
transmission may be interfered, and the video transmission may be interrupted due
to the interference to the differential signal. In order to address such interfering
signals, in some embodiments, the first filter 151 may filter out the interference
introduced by the pitch electronic adjuster 22, and the second filter 152 and the
third filter 171 may filter out the interference introduced by the roll electronic
adjuster 32 and the yaw electronic adjuster 42, respectively. In some embodiments,
the first filter 151, the second filter 152 and the third filter 171 may suppress
the interfering signals of the first, second and third motors 22, 33 and 43 by means
of common mode inductors, thereby preventing the interfering signals of the first,
second and third motors 22, 33 and 43 from interfering with the video serial differential
signal.
[0042] In some instances, the main controller 50 may detect the attitude information of
the imaging device 200. The gimbal control unit 17 may control the first angle adjusting
unit 20, the second angle adjusting unit 30 and the third angle adjusting unit 40

angle adjusting unit, the third filter, the transmission line, the second angle adjusting
unit, the second differential signal transmission line and the second filter are omitted,

[0045] In some embodiments, when the gimbal system 100b is a single-axis gimbal system,
the single-axis gimbal system may alternatively be arranged only with the second angle
adjusting unit instead of the angle adjusting units, but will not be limited to the
present embodiment.
